n Application led Hovemb To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON HoLUB, citizen of tiie United States, residing at New Yorkin t-lie county of NewYork and State of New York, have inveiited'oertain new and useful Improvements in\\"aterCoolcrs, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is a simple, durable and efficient construction of water cooler 'in which the water for drinking purposes is kept `frein coiningin.contact with the ice, thereby preventing the\possible contamination of the water by ther impurities present in the ice. k Y lVith this and othei' objects in yiew as will inore fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions and arrangements of pxiitsthat I shall hereinafter fully describe an l'.claini.

For a full understanding of the invition and the inei'its thereof, reference is to b 'had nying drawings in whic Iiigure 1 is a vertical section of my iinproved water cooler. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof with the lid renioved, and, Fig- 3 is i a plan view of the lid.

Corresponding and like parts are referred i to'in the following description and indicated in all the views .of the drawings by the same reference characters.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral l designates a water receptacle or tank of :inv

desired size or shape and open at the top shown. Secured to the inside of the tank 1 near its upper edge are upwardly and Lnwardly extending brackets 2. Apreferablv circular fraine 3 is provided with radially'exi tending arins 4 each forined with an opening or slot 5 therein, said fraine being designed to be inserted in the reservoir 1 so that the ends of the bi"ackets 2. will protrude through the slots 5 in its arins and thereby hold said fraine 3 in position.

means of an outstanding flange 7 formed at o1' Letters Patent.-

The said fraine 3 is designed to hold a preferably cylindrical ice- V can 6 suspended within the tank 1. bv ,f

hear the bottom of the tank 1 and leading therefrom is a faucet 10 bywhich means the water in said tank may be drawn oi for ilse. i A lid 11 is designed to rest on the upper edge of the tank 1 as shown and is forinedwith a `i relatively large central opening 12 in'registry 2 with the lid 8 of the ice can 6, and perforaf f tions 13 to adinit air into such tank 1. The lid 11 prevents dirt from dro )ping into the drinking water in the tank andl ing 12 of said lid 11 permits the easy reinoval of the lid 8 of said ice can as may be desired.

Frein the foregoing description in con- 'ieetion with the accompanying drawings it will readily be seen that I have provided an ei'iicient construction of water cooler which `ay be readily resolved into its several parts t to facilitate the cleaning thereof and the oper ation of which is obvious.

`Having thus described the invention, iwhat I claim is:

The herein-described water cooler comi nner surface of the tank and extending np- `wardly and inwardly therefrom, an annular raine )i'ovided with radially extending arins `forme with slots extending therethrough, v. the brackets protruding through the slots in the respective arins to sustain the fraine in position, and an ice can mounted within the water tank and provided near its upper edge with an outstanding flange arranged to bear against the annular fraine, to suspend the can in position.

In testimony whereof I affix niy signal iure in piesence of two witnesses.
